I have found a NZ source of the Betty Crocker Angel Food Cake that crops up in so many US and UK recipes - the one that you add water to - try www.marthaspantry.co.nz0

I have to agree ... the Nairn's biscuits are yummy ... different but yummy ... now a stable in my cupboard as a bikkie with my green tea ... mmm0

To curb my choccy cravings I'm enjoying Fun Size Milky bars, Maltesers or Smarties - all less then 100calories each
To curb my bread cravings I've discovered Freya Sandwich Thins
For a warm drink I'm having Jarrah White Hot Chocolate or Blegian Milk however they have phenylalanine in them so am going to look for an alternative
To drink rather than water I have the occasional Coke Zero
For ice cream I've discovered Bulla Fruit 'n Frozen Yoghurt but again I think they have phenylalanine in them so more searching required.
Its all been a question of trying to find healthier, lower calorie options for my usual diet and so far I'm succeeding.
Some great tips here I'll be looking out for Nairn & Weight Watcher biscuits.0 -
Bought Campbells Country Ladle Pumpkin, red lentil & spinach soup today as was on special. Best canned soup I have tried. Normally always make my own soup - even stock from scratch but this was awesome. Low in cals too 121 per serve - though I had the whole can! (242cals)0

Will have to try that soup.
I have been loving the moroccan soups.. watties has one in their special range and campbells does one also. full of beans and lentils etc so filling and I dont need toast and butter etc to bulk up the meal and full me.0 -
I love the very special soups but just watch the sodium content, they're high as!0
-

Hey all I love the artezano soups...best one is lamb, mint and isralli couscous. Good when the are on special and filled with so many veges. Also whittakers infused peppermint dark chocolate minis sooo good. about 80 cals..Always great to have them at night with a weight watches hot chocolate..Use as a dunkim.....Green smooties hides all the veges and fruits and my 2 year old wants them all the time.................0

You can use the Edmonds cake mixes instead of the Betty Crocker ones - have tried both and I think the Edmonds ones are far tastier
Mainland low fat Feta cheese. Super yummy and only 24 cals, less than 1g fat and 1g carb for 20g of Feta.0 -
Anyone try Almond milk? Was told today it was very nice. If so, whats the calorie content in comparison to light blue milk?0
-
The only one you can buy here is So Good and I don't know how they dare to call it almond milk at all - Almonds are quite far down the list of ingredients. I made my own almond milk, which was nice, but it was much higher calorie because all it contained was water and almonds. Personally, although the So good is low cal I would rather stick to good old cows milk thanks.0

Thanks for that 'faw1001'
Slightly less calories than Pams light blue milk at 47cals per 100ml. I might try it too.0 -
I found wunderbites bars at New World, they contain under 10g of sugar and 10g of fat (http://www.wunderbites.co.nz/) , I really like the lime and coconut ones.0

A fellow NZ MFPer put me onto these... Pop n Good popcorn multipacks. There's a caramel flavour (64 cal) and a light n buttery (55 cal) version. I also have the Good Bites Puffs in sour cream flavour (53 cal)
I'm still early on in my journey so these are like a god send when I want a snack! I've also just found the calci-yum iceblocks (spongebob themed) and they're between 79-86 ish calories and come in banana, chocolate and strawberry.
Loving this thread, thank you!0 -
I love the Betty Crocker low fat muffins, blueberry, mixed berry or apple and cinnamon. I make them bigger by adding in a can of chopped (unsweetened) apples.0

Frooze Balls are my new find. They sell them at fruit and vege shops in packs of 5. They are like biscuits, but are made of nuts and dried fruit. They are only 54 cal per ball and really fill the biccie craving. Plus since they only come in small packets, so there's not that many to eat (or over eat). I can't be trusted with a whole pack of biscuits to only eat two!0

Homebrand Vanilla, strawberry or chocolate cremes. 2 for 70 calories Delicious!!
Can you stop at two biscuits? I can't :-( I had a little binge yesterday and ended up going for a second run I felt so bad!!0
